This painting is an oil on canvas signed by Giovanni Paolo Pannini (1691-1765) with a monogram.
Giovanni Paolo Pannini was an architect and painter. He devoted himself primarily to the depiction of a typically eighteenth-century landscape style: the capriccio.
His city views are imaginary, but often depict real elements. The monuments described by Pannini are painted together in imaginative and scenic views.
In this depiction, for example, you can see the ruins of a Roman bridge, other typical ancient Roman monuments, and a temple. In the background is a seascape.
This painting does not appear to be a copy of other works by Pannini. On the back is a label affixed by a restorer in the 1960s.
Regarding the signature, if you look at the photo of the detail, you can see a Greek letter gamma (γ), which is an abbreviation of "γεγραφη," which in ancient Greek means "painted." You can then see a letter "π," which corresponds to the initial of the surname Pannini. You can also see an "ι," between the gamma and the "π." This last letter corresponds to the name Giovanni translated into Greek (ιωαννησ).
The painting measures 54cmx45cm with the frame and 35cmx44cm without.
The painting has been transferred to a new stretcher and restored. No further work is required. It is in excellent condition.
It comes with a certificate of authenticity issued by our Antiques Gallery in Spoleto.
The packaging will be professionally handled. The painting will be shipped via Mail Boxes. Returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery.
